now's as good a time as ever

i've decided to start my new year's resolutions a little early this year - this past monday in fact.

because why wait till january 1st?

when you're ready, you're ready - no reason to put off the inevitable.

you see i have a lot of things to look forward to and prepare for in 2010:

1. going to salt lake city, utah AND the sundance film festival in park city, utah end of january to see georgia peach, nameless and big pete2. the first annual fluorescent february party (invites to come, but save the date for february 20th cleveland people!!)3. jumpback ball at playhouse square, i.e. a good excuse to buy a new fancy dress 4. heading to scottsdale, arizona in march for tigger's bachelorette party with 10 of my college besties5. traveling to pittsburgh more times than i can count for teen's bridal shower in march, bachelorette party soon there after and wedding in april that i'm honored to be a bridesmaid in!6. a week in southern california in june for tigger's wedding and then further exploring the region7. my 30th the beginning of july

that's a lot of stuff to be excited for - some are happening as soon as two months and some are a bit farther off, but regardless of when these events are going to occur i've hit a breaking point pushing me into action.

which is why i'm starting to train with overload fitness is westlake (they also have a location in beachwood).

i had my first session this past monday and holy crap am i excited to get going, specifically because the style of training they do at overload fitness is something i have never experienced before.

i'm going to be doing two sessions a week, at only 30 minutes a session with a focus on strength training in a unique environment that includes a clinically temperature controlled workout environment where my trainer says that i'm never going to sweat - well we'll just have to see about that.

i'll be sure to give you guys a status update in a couple of weeks to let you know how the training/diet is going and if i've even succeeded at my first homework assignment - eating breakfast.

I'm not fitness guru, but I do work out quite often. (I just trained for and completed my first half marathon - yay!) I don't feel like you'll be getting a good workout unless you're sweating. Sure, it's a drag to be all gross after working out, but I feel like it lets you know you've accomplished something. Unless they have the AC cranked to 30 degrees, then that would probably prevent you from sweating. :)

I came back from a vacation in Dublin a couple weeks ago and felt really refreshed, and I made my own sort of resolutions at that time. 2 are going pretty well, 1 could use some more work, but I feel great working on all 3.

After some research I found out that more than 75% of people who set New Year's resolutions will break them within 3 months and almost one-third will break them by the end of January? Whether your goal is to stop smoking, lose weight, get in shape, break bad habits, pay off debt, or find true love; most people end up being another statistic.
